Middle East MarketB

2054 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley, CA 94702 · Grocery store, Persian restaurant · Berkeley

Neighborhood Persian market-cafe with standout kabobs, stews, and a deep grocery selection; warm hospitality and fair portions at moderate prices, with occasional waits and some price gripes.

Why this grade

Middle East Market delivers solid neighborhood dining through reliable Persian cooking and genuinely warm, attentive service that makes regulars feel at home. The market-cafe hybrid model and pleasant patio setting add character, though occasional consistency variations and modest ambiance prevent it from reaching higher distinction. Worth visiting for authentic kabobs and the welcoming hospitality that defines the experience.

One caveat: Pricing feels moderate overall, but premium cuts and mixed platters add up
